Grow baby, grow!

If you live in the Midwest, you probably already know that it has been raining non-stop for about a month now. In most cases, this would not be the most desirable weather, but for my baby herbs...it's been wonderful! I've only watered them twice - maybe three times since the day I planted the seeds. Mother nature has taken care of the rest! I used my cilantro for the first time on some home-made tacos the other night...so delicious! I can't wait to use the rest of the herbs!

Pot o' herbs
Day 1: Seeds planted

Day 19: The seeds are sprouting!

Day 26: Little cilantro leaves

Day 29: Basil starting to peek through

Day 35: Lookin' good, cilantro!

Left: Parsley, Middle/Front: Basil (come on basil, you can do it!), Right: Cilantro, Back: Oregano (I think I've officially given up you oregano)
I may have to re-plant the oregano, since I have yet to see a single sign of life back there. I'm also contemplating tomatoes again. I usually grow tomatoes every year...but then never eat all of them. We'll see how adventurous I'm feeling...

Oooh I'm dying with jealousy as I try to grow basil, cilantro, and strawberries inside my apartment, and with limited success (as you can probably imagine).
